New York Metal Detecting

New York’s detecting opportunities span colonial era Manhattan sites to Revolutionary War battle areas in Westchester, from the Adirondack iron works to the Erie Canal corridor and Catskill tanning town remnants. The state is remarkably diverse historically, but also has strong archaeological site protection laws. New York City area regulations are particularly strict. Always research the specific rules for your location – they vary dramatically from city to rural upstate.
